Solutions

S1.Ans.(a)
Sol. A Database Management System (DBMS) allows a database administrator to maintain a database, which includes various operations, such as creating a database, deleting it, creating tables, and updating records in the database tables.
S2.Ans.(b)
Sol. A relation is in 3NF if an attribute of a composite key is dependent on an attribute of other composite key. If an attribute of a composite key is dependent on an attribute of other composite key then the relation is not in BCNF. Hence it has to be decomposed.
S3.Ans.(d)
Sol. A data warehouse is organized around important subject areas. A data warehouse (DW or DWH), also known as an enterprise data warehouse (EDW), is a system used for reporting and data analysis. DWs are central repositories of integrated data from one or more disparate sources.
S4.Ans. (a)
Sol. In the relational modes, cardinality is termed as Number of tuples.
S5. Ans.(b)
Sol. An entity set containing a primary key is called a strong entity set. A strong entity set has key attributes.
S6. Ans (a)
Sol. DBMS acts as an interface between database application and the database.
S7. Ans. (e)
Sol. Data integrity refers to the overall completeness, accuracy and consistency of data. And Data redundancy hampers data integrity.
S8.Ans. (d)
Sol. There is no transition database.
S9.Ans.(c)
Sol. A relational database management system (RDBMS) is a database management system (DBMS) that is based on the relational model as invented by E. F. Codd. Relational databases have often replaced legacy hierarchical databases and network databases because they are easier to understand and use.
S10. Ans.(b)
Sol. Data integrity is the overall completeness, accuracy and consistency of data. This can be indicated by the absence of alteration between two instances or between two updates of a data record, meaning data is intact and unchanged.
S11.Ans.(d)
Sol. A FOREIGN KEY is a key used to link two tables together.
S12.Ans.(a)
Sol. Primary key is used to uniquely identify a record within a table.
S13.Ans.(b)
Sol. Foreign key is a field in one table that is used as the primary key in another table. Whenever a relationship is created between two tables, a common field acts as the primary key in the first table and the foreign key in the second table.
S14.Ans.(d)
Sol. All other are valid keys except for track key.
S15.Ans.(b)
Sol. Key is a property of the entire relation (relation is a table).
